Washington's trademark was a toothpick in his mouth whether batting, running, or diving for a ball. The switch-hitting and speedy Washington almost made Royals fans forget his long-time predecessor at shortstop, Freddie Patek. He displayed tremendous range and a strong, accurate arm to provide, with Frank White, a solid middle infield for the Royals through the early 1980s. (FO)
